Yeah, San Francisco's a total hellhole.
I lived in the Nob-loin when I lived there and felt completely safe walking home from the theatre at midnight. Maybe that's changed.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
God: "Okay, this bit which controls a good bit of your hormones will be hanging outside your body in a soft little sack next to these two moving limbs. Don't jostle it. And it was easier to hook the plumbing up so that the sexual and waste elimination functions went through the same tube. That won't be a problem, right?"
Heh. This reminds me of a bit Woody Allen cut from Annie Hall where he's talking to God and tells him not to put the sexual organs too close to the excratory ones - it will only cause problems later on.

Always Anti-fascist!
Wanting the power that comes with the Penis? Yes, sometimes. Actual dick? Really, NSM. (Although I would probably be the most annoying man, ever. Things probably worked out the way that they should've, there.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I can't really imagine looking at a dick and thinking that was a good idea. OTOH, I totes enjoy having one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Perhaps the Pythons said it best:
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy.
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick.
So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, thank God, Burrell. It's at least comforting to know that it's not just my kid, that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.
I may be over psychoanalyzing it, but I think it's just a literalization of the mirror stage. As in, the first ego-imago of the child is the parent, so their sense of themselves comes from seeing themselves through us. In this case actually seeing themselves reflected in the eyes of someone who loves them.
And--ahem--I must admit my tendency to psychoanalyze stops short of buying into penis envy. Cute origin myth on Freud's part, but hopelessly fixed in a particular cultural moment.
